NEW NOVEL

Just released! Irish Gold: The Inheritance. It is the sequel to Across Time, and continues the saga of Sean Elliot and Helen James, the protagonists of the acclaimed novel Across Time. Sean discovers that his grandfather, whom he believed to have died years before, has recently left him a legacy: a shipping company called Ogma Shipping and two diaries from his ancestors. The diaries reveal a mysterious family secret that Sean never suspected.

To unravel this secret, Sean and Helen embark on an adventure that takes them from Boston to Dublin, Ireland, and Zurich, Switzerland, where they encounter friends and foes. Sean also relives the historical events of the Irish Rebellion and the 1916 Easter Rising through the help of Dr. Giess, the famous regression therapist from Across Time.

A thrilling tale of how Sean and Helen cope with their inheritance, their fate, and the hidden realities of Sean’s lineage.
